Victoria Peak has been regarded as the symbol of Hong Kong since its opening to the outside world. With a height of 554 meters (1,818 feet) above sea level, Victoria Peak is the highest peak in the area and a famous attraction of Hong Kong.

A modern seven-story Peak Tower was built on Victoria Peak in May of 1997, taking the place of the old one. With a bowl-like exterior, Peak Tower building combines sightseeing, entertainment and shopping. Peak Tower is an essential part of any Hong Kong visit any time of day in any weather.

The first Madam Tussaud's Wax Museum of Asia has been established in Peak Tower. The Museum exhibits lifelike wax statues of famous people including athletes, film stars and political figures.

The Peak Tram has been in operation since 1888. A trip from the foot to the top of the mountain takes seven minutes. The Peak Tram runs from 7:00 until midnight at intervals of approximately ten minutes.

Getting There:
Take the Peak Tram at Garden Road Terminal, or take public bus No. 15 at the Exchange Square Bus Terminus in Central.
